| Dear All, Friday’s Bottom Line: Following Friday’s DM seminar in Naivasha, Scott sent us some powerful comments and stories from several attendees. And then Mary’s commitment… almost unimaginable. Friday’s Prayer Requests: 1. God to continue to move mightily in Pastor Mark’s seminars, Scott’s meetings, and their various church services this weekend. 2. Nothing to hinder the much-anticipated DM retreat Sunday-Tuesday; about 50 DM group leaders are expected to be there. 3. God to honor Mary’s (and others’) unwavering commitment to keep sharing Jesus’ method of raising disciple-makers, no matter what.Friday’s Details: Today we have some brief stories about several people in Africa whose lives are being directly impacted by your prayers and support. = ) First, let me rewind a bit to Scott’s and Hellen’s time back in Tororo, Uganda, where 8 new disciple-makers are now jumping in to help lead 50 new DM group members… Scott said, “Remember this picture? Pastor Collins is in purple, next to Hellen.”  Tororo DM leaders “Pastor Collins is one of our two main DM leaders. On the way home from the seminar, I bought everyone a drink, and he got milk. He was so thankful. He said he wished he was in our family so he could have milk every day. I was really moved, understanding all his sacrifice for the DM movement, and yet, he does not have the money to buy milk.”Now here is a comment from Pastor Rogus, who attended today’s DM seminar in Naivasha: “What i have learned in Discipleship, I have never learn in my masters of divinity degree.” Wow! Then this man (below) said, “I was saved in 1978 and have always felt it is so I can go to heaven. But today, for the first time, I realized that I have been saved to bring another with me.”  He knows he’s been saved for a purpose And then there’s Mary. Scott said “Mary walked 90 minutes one way every week for 10 months to attend a DM group. Now she is leading a group in her hometown with 4 students.” |
 MaryWow.Wow. Wow. What determination! What an example! Would I do this? Would you? And don’t we all want to hug Mary’s neck and thank her for challenging us to do our part to make a difference in God’s kingdom?These are the kinds of people God is using Scott — and Mark, and Hellen, and James, and Hillary, and all their disciples — to reach. And one of the reasons they are able to do it is because you are faithfully praying and giving. Thank you! Blessings, Patty |
